Liz Nord:  "No matter how you feel about it, virtual reality filmmaking and experiential storytelling is happening. And it's getting better and better. No longer just a gimmick, filmmakers are using the technology to serve the story instead of the other way around."

Peter Rubin:  "You haven't heard of Uncorporeal, but they've got something in their pocket that'll blow your mind."

Michael Wesolowski:  "It’s no longer just about unique and memorable game characters and exciting incentives, but holistic and immersive user experiences."

Michael Wesolowski:  "It’s no longer just about unique and memorable game characters and exciting incentives, but holistic and immersive user experiences."

Kevin Ohannessian:  "Gamers and early adopters are going to put virtual reality on shelves, but social uses of VR will bring it into all our lives."

Angela Watercutter:  "Making movies for virtual reality is unlike any previous kind of filmmaking. You can’t “frame” a 360-degree shot. There are no cuts. And, weirdly enough, the characters can know you’re there."

6 reglas para hacer películas en tiempos de la realidad virtual

Noah J. Nelson:  "Virtual reality is still pretty much uncharted territory. The maps that we do have, limited as they are, come from other disciplines. Film and games are the two mediums that are most commonly evoked when talking about VR, and we will likely maintain that status for some time."

Virtual reality is all based on story telling, ideation, visualisation: i.e. "storification in multimediated terms"...

Michael Epstein and Angela Watercutter:  "VR is still in its early stages, but a look back in history, from Vaudeville to journalism, may help us predict how the technology will find its footing."

Angela Watercutter:  "Oculus Story Studio's new project is more than a cute animated short--it's a test case for narrative techniques that could change the way we watch movies."

"Oculus Story Studio's new (& cute) animated short "Henry" brings the psychology of empathy (and much more) into the forefront of development and design.  Yes, it will change the way the audience watches and thinks about movies, but it will only succeed as an artform if filmmakers, storytellers and producers understanding the fundamentals that create empathy, how empathy differs from sympathy and other forms of emotional response, how the sense of presence changes with perception and how people attribute meaning like intentionality in a 'shared space.'  The most telling quote in the article is a parenthetical aside when Saschka Unseld is quoted as saying that the change in connection makes comedy twice as hard because Buster Keaton-esque physical comedy just feels “mean.”  VR will force the examination of all the conventional filmmaking rules of thumb for transmitting engagement and emotion--without which the story isn't successful. #mediapsych  More than ever, it's the psychology that matters.
